1909 Map of Yosemite

About this map

The Merced River and Middle Fork Tuolumne River canyons dominate this turn-of-the-century reconnaissance of the high Sierras, recorded by R.B. Marshall and H.E.C. Feusier in the 1890s. The landscape reflects an era of early conservation and transition, showing the Yosemite National Park boundary alongside the Stanislaus National Forest. Human presence is marked by historic ranching and transit hubs like Crockers, Harden Ranch, and the Yosemite Valley RR terminal at El Portal.
